PhotoSmart HP 6520: HP PhotoSmart 6520 Series does not print black

Similar Questions

• My Photosmart HP 6515 does not print black only.

  Sometimes, I want to print something on the web that has the color, but if I have no color and just want black and white how can I do? I don't see anything on the control panel of the printer that allows me to do that.

  The copy on the control panel function is, I suppose, just for the copy of something you place on top of the screen glass and not to the copy on the web. Is this correct?

  Other printers (such as my old Canon printer) allows me to do black and white.

  Hello

  You can set print black ink using the settings of the printer on your Mac:

  First of all, try to click the menu presets from the print dialog box and select the preconfigured black single preset.

  If this does not appear, follow the steps below to manually create such a "Preset":

  1. from the application used to print, click the file menu and select print. The print window is displayed.
  NOTE: The print window might be minimized: click the blue triangle next to product model (Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.6) or the button view details (Mac OS X Lion v10.7 / 10.8) see all available parameters.

  2. to access the color options, click in the area of selection below, listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
  Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

  3. Select Type/quality paper in the menu dropdown.

  4. click the triangle next to color Options of spending parameters.

  5. set the color to grayscale field.

  6. set the Mode to grayscale in black cartridge only.

  You can save the settings for later use by clicking preset > save current settings as preset.

• HP Photosmart Plus B210 Series does NOT print black

  I use Windows 7 to print to the printer HP Photosmart Plus B210 Series. The black cartridge has been listed as half full, but I installed a new black cartridge with no improvement. I selected the clean and align the print head, but the printer prints only the color inks and not black. I checked the vent of the cartridge on the black ink cartridge, and it is clear.

  Any suggestions?

  I have completed the troubleshooting steps and nothing fixed the problem. I even followed the instructions for soaking the printhead for 10 minutes in hot water. I guess that the printhead has gone bad and needs replaced. Thanks for your help.

• HP Photosmart Plus B209A does not print black ink despite trying two separate NEW ink cartridges black

  HP Photosmart B209A more

  MAC

  No error messages but trying to align or check colors - black doesn't print at all

  No change - knew ink was low so I tried to install a new black ink cartridge - then one day later tried an another new black ink cartridge

  I tried all the techniques of "Troubleshooting" listed on the page Web - align, clean the print heads, install the new cartridges, looking for trouble with the vents, etc.  I have only used HP ink cartridges.

  Hi abruce,.

  Usually, it is a result of dried/clogged ink nozzles in the printer or the print head.

  According to some other users on the forums, you can remove the print head (use this guide if you are unsure how: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01944580)

  Make sure the cartridges are removed from the print head

  Dive head in hot water, nozzles downwards. (about 1 in. of water) and leave any residue of ink to flow. This process should take about 15 minutes. Ensure that the print head is completely dried out and there is no moisture in the electrical contacts or the rest of the part.

  I hope this helps!

• HP PHOTOSMART PREMIUM C309ns does not print black misalignment & printing

  HP Photosmart Premium Web Printer Model # C309ns (Microsoft 64-bit)

  Suddenly I'm unable to print in black.  When you print documents, black is low or absent.

  I tried to solve the problem of:

  -Updated the drivers and software updates

  -Cleaning of the print head

  -Remove all the ink and their replacement cartridges

  -Turning printer off, wait, then turn on

  -Restart the computer

  -Tried to align the printer, but it "failed".

  Help, please!

  Remove the ink cartridges and using the grey lever on the side of the cart, remove the printhead.  Clean the electric contacts (bunches of points 1/16 "diameter gold) with a damp lint.  The fabric will be ruined.

  Clean the surface of contact inside the carriage.  Re-monte and retest.

• 4610 Deskjet series: deskjet 4610 series does not print black despite the new cartridge

  Nice day

  I knew that my printer ink level was low. I printed a paper of 10 pages black and white last night and the ink quality was very good. When I printed an extra page, there is no ink on the page. I replaced the ink cartridge today. There is still no black ink printing. The test page is only released in color. Print dark colors. The cartridge is a genuine HP cartridge. The printer is only 2 and a few years.

  Your comments and help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• DeskJet F4480: full black print cartridge still does not print black. Colors OK.

  What the title says. All of a sudden my Deskjet F4480 does not print black. All cartridges are almost nine (changed recently, bought at Staples). Colour printing is OK. Print a page with black text and results in only the images printing color images. I only went through all the steps of cleaning cartridge several times, no difference. There is no error message, just black not appear do not at all.

  And... Here is the solution.

  Funny how I found an explanation of the problem and how to fix it on a different printer manufacturer's Web site, but not on HP... But I digress.

  The black cartridge has been blocked. The way of difficulty is:

  1. remove the faulty cartridge from the printer.

  2. place a small amount of boiling water in a cup (about 1/4 in.) and dunk of the print head (the part where the ink comes out) in warm water for a minute. Do not immerse the entire cartridge in hot water, just the print head.

  3 take it out, pat against a paper towel, observe the model ink left in the cartridge on the towel. If too little / interrupted, dunk again in hot water for another minute, pat again. You want to get an unbroken line of ink through the length of the print head. Repeat as needed (I did 4 times total).

  4 cartridge Pat dry everywhere, put it back in the printer, run cleaning cycles (1 - 2).

  5. If still not good fixed, take out the cartridge and repeat 2 (I had to do it again).

  You will lose little ink, cartridge of bad and good a well (you can not run cycles with only 1 cleaning cartridge), but at least you won't have to throw a nearly full cartridge.

• HP 3520 while a printer does not print black after changing ink and cleaning head

  My 3520 printer all-in-one will not print black after cleaning print head and replacement of black ink. the printer is a little older than a year. All printing inks.

  Hi handytim1,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Deskjet 3520, you cleaned the printhead and replace the cartridge without success.

  I would like to continue you here: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages, I understand, you may have made some of these steps already but I need you to complete all the steps in order to solve the problem of the missing black, you encounter.

  Please note: there are three stages of print head cleaning. Three steps if necessary. If the print head is badly clogged, it may require another round of cleaning. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last step of cleaning (third) to start the first stage of the cleanup process.

  Let me know the results, I'll watch for your reply.

  Thank you

• hp3520 does not print black

  My printer does not print black. I look and notice that it does not indicate that it stays black in the cartridge. Still, I went and got a new black ink cartridge and it printed the first page in black, but then stop again to print in black. Other colors on paper, but not black.

  Hi cheepazoid,

  I would start by checking all ink and cartridges of weak levels.  I'm a link the user guide for your printer which also contains troubleshooting information.  Click here  I suggest that you click on Maintenance in the guide and follow the steps to manually clean the ink cartridges and options to automatically clean the cartridges up to 3 times.

  Let me know how it goes.

  Good luck!

• PHOTOSMART HP 6520 does not print black. And the ink levels estimated for the other inks are not correct.

  Hi, I bought my photosmart Hp 6520 year last, October. But it is no more print black after replacing ink twice. I tried to clean the print head with water and tried "clean print head" in tools, does not solve the problem...

  What is wired is that I bought 4 new 564 inks the hp of the target 2 days ago, printed only less than 10 pages to see if the problem is resolved. Then my printer told me that the cartridge is too low... Is this possible?

  It makes me crazy now... What is even worse, I used a tool to detect my printer, and he said that is no longer under warranty... But he was only 9 months... How can I solve this problem? Thank you.

  The document here can help solve the black does not print on your Photosmart 6520.  Be sure to check the vents, as on the three solution.

  If this does not resolve the issue I suggest you call HP (1-800-HPINVENt to the United States, see here for details by the way).  The warranty online tool is an estimate, they will have a process of updated the status of the guarantee if necessary.

• Photosmart eStation C510 does not print

  Hi my (?) Photosmart eStation C510 printer does not print! I checked all settings changed ink cartridges, it will print a color image, but it will not print black and text is missing from the photo - I cleaned the printheads three times. I found the 'helpline' inaccessible HP and am pretty much scream of rage and frustration. I don't understand why it will not be printed. Printing ink level indicator is not telling the truth because I replacead all the cartridges this morning and he said one of them is half empty! If I see another white page out of this printer I'll cry! I guess it's maybe that black ink nozzle is completely blocked - it's the only thing I can think. Other peoples encountered this problem? and Yes, I restarted, six times

  You both seem to have some problems with printing caused by your print quality.

  Suzyd (and I would like you to try this too, CPilenza), I recommend do you a similar process that is Cipelenza. I would like to open your machine and remove the cartridges and print heads. Then unplug your machine while it is still open. Then use a fluffy cloth (like a coffee filter) and little water to clean the contacts on the back of the printhead (the bumps in copper). Then clean the contacts inside the machine. So shut up and plug it / turn it on. Replace the printhead and cartridges in order ask the machine.

  Sometimes, if the print head is damaged, the part will be replaced.

• HP Photosmart Premium C309g do not print black ink

  Hello

  My HP Photosmart Premium C309g (CD055A) will not print black ink even if the cartridge is full. He's going through the motions of printing but the pages come out blank. It prints colors, they are not as dark as before, so I know that black is not working. I have cleaned the print heads, turned off the printer, unplug the printer, restarted the computer, but nothing works. I get colors on the report of the print quality, but the printer status report comes out blank. I bought a new black ink cartridge (564XL) think the previous one was defective (levels showed a 75% ink) but I still have the same problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hey,.

  I see you have done some troubleshooting on the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing.  I would make sure you did all the troubleshooting steps available for your research problem in the document following the link.

  Print colors are the colors should not when the C309 Photosmart Premium printing.

  If you have completed all these steps, then I check the status of your printer warranty.  If it is out of warranty, you should consider the solution provided by Bob_Headrick in the thread found here.

  Hope this helps,

• Photosmart HP 5510 is not printing black

  After I changed my black cartridge with a new one (original HP 364 XL), it does not print any black.

  I did all the steps I found here on the forum, apparently this problem is pretty common with the 5510 after he reached the age of one year... but none worked.

  I read that the last option is a reset 'special '? I would like to know how it works.

  No matter what HP tech out there who can help me?

  Thank you!
